Since its initial release, for example, Ventoy has added official support for over 300 ISO images, developed a plug-in model to facilitate more complex needs, such as persistence support for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and elementaryOS live images, and widened its overall compatibility – for example, to support Secure Boot mode (although this was hit and miss in our experience).įor the average user though, this is overkill. It’s elegantly simple, but there’s a lot of ongoing work behind the scenes. Once Ventoy is set up on your flash drive, just copy the boot image files to the drive, reboot and Ventoy will allow you to select which one you wish to launch from its own boot menu. The larger the flash drive, the more boot media you can install on it.īetter still, there’s no complicated image-writing procedures involved. Instead of five, six or however many boot discs you need, everything is stored on a single flash drive. Ventoy is a brilliantly conceived – and executed – fix to all of this. Open a drawer and unless you’ve labelled them all, which drive contains what boot media? Not to mention the faff involved in writing new images or burning new discs when the boot media gets an update. Aside from the expense of burning discs or investing in more and more flash drives, there’s the question of clutter.

Supported OS: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.How many boot discs or flash drives do you own? It’s possible to build up quite a collection, from Linux live CDs and antivirus rescue discs to boot media for apps as diverse as drive imaging to data recovery.
